port.
The getty will then configure the port and wait for a connection to be made. An active connection on a serial device is usually
indicated by the Data Carrier Detect (DCD) pin on the serial device being raised. When a connection is detected, the getty program
issues a login: prompt, and then invokes the login program to handle the actual system login.
NOTE Selecting Terminal Server mode will disable Port Manager for that serial port, so data is no longer logged for alerts etc.
